All rights ol republication of special despatches therein are also reserved DAILY EDITION ise Words From Bruce TUESDAY, JAN. 6, 1942. Bruce Hutchinson is an able writer and is paid for what he writes. Rut now and then we steal something because we can't afford to pay for it, so here are the stolen goods: "The year 1941, I suppose, has been one of the most remarkable in the whole history of the human species, not only for the events of arms, but for the re-grouping of the world's powers. That, after all, is the thing which lasts long after military campaigns have ended. The emergence of Russia and the United States into the full responsibilities of the world at large, after 20 years of isolation, has utterly altered all the old balances that we . have known since the last war; has, as it were, restored' two missing limbs to the body of civilization and at last presented some hope of saving a civilization which assur- j ed-ly has been in a process of decay for more than a generation. "For Canada' this has been a year of revolution. You can apply no other word -to the processes that have been under way here while most of our citizens were demanding that something happen. Something has happened beyond the imagination of the public, which is raw material of it In 1911 we have scrapped the economic system which has existed here without serious interruption since Champlain planted the first seeds in his garden at Que-. bee. In place of the private initiative and private judgment which planted those seeds, which settled our couiv try and built our cities, we have substituted this year the ;pVerpowering direction of the state.- We are building, a totalitarian economy. The task is not complete yet. The price ceiling was a historic change, of course, but is only part of the whole process. Much more must be done by rationing, by compulsory savings, by compulsory labor until the unthinking man may well say to himself that our system differs little from the system we are fighting to destroy. In its mechanics, this is true. There will be very little difference, before we are finished, in the actual blueprint and method ; but all the world of difference between the purpose, the result. Our state is under the control of the . government, yes; but the government is under the control of the people still and can be changed or removed at any moment. So long as parliament exists, we can liquidate the war system entirely or change it in any way we please. It can never be fastened firmly upon us against our will. That is the difference. "The results of our progress so far are quite beyond calculation at present, but we may note some trends.' The important one, of course, is the growing realization by the public that the state, in a pinch, can mobilize itself to produce, amazing quantities of unusable war materials and, next, the public assumption that if the state can do that it can also produce amazing quantities of other materials when the war is over. "At the risk of repeating something said here often before, I suggest that herein, lies the great basic political fact of the future. After the war the people are going to insist that the state produce prosperity as efficiently as it produced weapons. That is the most important, thing about 1941 in Canada. "Up to now, however, we have seen only the easy-side of the process. JThe hard side only begins as this year ends. The hard "side involves such sacrifices of our liberties, of our customary ways of life, of our convenience, of our living standards as we have never seen before. And before all this is over we may well witness another key fact to set against the first, as noted above. We may well find before the war is over that the people will be so tired of regimentation, so sick of being told what they must do and what they cannot do, that they ill revolt against the whole theory of control and clamor for a return to something like old-fashioned liberty. That prospect also is buried in the mysterious human, stufi of 1941. .. And another thing also: In 1941 Canada began to feel a new sense of its power, its place in the world. It began, under the pressure of a huge war effort, to lose some of that inferiority complex which has hung about us like a damp and evil-smelling fog for the last 100 years. If our war effort continues to grow, if we manage it well, if we accept large new sacrifices, we may find in 1942 a still further disappearance of this old colonial and flunkey feeling. Indeed, we may come out of the war a nation whei:e we were not a nation before. During their visit to Boston, while on an extended tour of the United States, members of the R.C.A.F. visited a British warship which was, at that time, in port. They are shown abaard the vessel as sailors explain some of the Intricacies of life aboard a man-o'-war.

Life insurance is an outstanding example of democracy at work guarding the freedom and independence of a million Canadian homes ....
